Burnies formula is the exact way.

An easier way is 13 to 9 percent is 4% less water you get to sell.

So if you have 100 bu you lost 4 bu due to over dry.

With burnies formula you lose 15 bu on 10 ton with mine you lose about 13.3.

Subtract the tested moisture(9%) from 100 (91). Then take the the moisture they are supposed to be (13%) and subtract from 100(87). Divide the 91 by 87; this should give you a figure of more than one. In this case it is 1.045. If you multiply this figure by how many tons of soybeans you have, that will give you the weight at 13%. Subtract that from your original weight and that is your loss. You have to use weight (either lbs, tons etc) as a bushel is a unit of volume. In your case for every 10 tons you harvest at 9%, you are losing 0.45 of a ton. Happy and safe harvesting,

Burnie.
